Jays Buzz

Over his past 15 games, LF Adam Lind is batting .361 (22-for-61) with eight doubles, four home runs and 17 RBIs. The 17 RBIs rank as the fourth most hit in the major leagues over that time. Lind has also reached base safely in 22 consecutive games.

ROAD WEARY

The Jays went 1-6 on their just completed road trip and except for their bizarre 18-10 romp over Texas on Monday, they didn't hit much at all. The worst culprits on the trip were found down in the order as RF Travis Snider was just 1-for-20, 3B/OF Jose Bautista 1-for-18 and CF Vernon Wells, 3-for-20. The top hitter on the trip as far as average was 3B John McDonald who went 7-for-19. Both 1B Lyle Overbay and LF Adam Lind were 8-for-25 while 2B Aaron Hill was 6-for-22.

BACK TO THIRD

Edwin Encarnacion is on the disabled list with a slight pull in his left hamstring and is eligible to return to duty on Monday when the Jays play host to the Minnesota Twins for the first of four games. Manager Cito Gaston said that Encarnacion will get the bulk of the duty at third when he returns.

In 16 games with the Jays, the right-handed hitter is batting .186 (11-for-59) with one homer and three RBIs.
